Former Pittsburgh Steelers Practice Squad Player Dies
PITTSBURGH, PA — Former NFL wide receiver Devon Wylie, who briefly was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has died. He was 35.
No cause of death was given.
A social media post from a member of Wylie’s family announced his death Monday, according to ABC 30 in Fresno.
“We wanted to make this post so people who knew and loved Devon could learn of his passing because we don’t have the capacity to reach out to everyone in this hard time,” the post stated.
“There are no words to express the sadness that comes from losing a brother, dear friend and amazing uncle. Devon had so much love and joy to give. Always making people laugh and entertaining us with his football skills, guitar jams, silly jokes and voices, back-flip tricks, fun banter Star Wars obsession chat, Halo night and not to mention his beautiful smile. We will miss him always.”
Wylie was a standout player at Fresno State who was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. He had a brief period with the Steelers in 2013 and also spent time with Arizona, Tennessee, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland and Atlanta.
